Assessments

At Trident Academy, we use a variety of assessments to measure the progress of our students.  We understand that what works for one child excelling in a more traditional school setting may not work for a child struggling with a learning difference.  All of our students enter with a full psycho-educational evaluation, which helps to give our teachers a complete in-depth picture of the intellectual needs of each child.
